But the Chinese model burns through nearly twice as many tokens per task. Still, that pricing gap is putting real pressure on Anthropic and OpenAI, and could rattle the valuations of Western AI labs.\n\nThe article [Snowflake CEO finds GLM-5.2 competitive with Opus 4.7 at a fraction of the cost](https://the-decoder.com/snowflake-ceo-finds-glm-5-2-competitive-with-opus-4-7-at-a-fraction-of-the-cost/) appeared first on [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/snowflake-ceo-finds-glm-5-2-competitive-with-opus-4-7-at-a-fraction-of-the-cost", "canonical_source": "https://the-decoder.com/snowflake-ceo-finds-glm-5-2-competitive-with-opus-4-7-at-a-fraction-of-the-cost/", "published_at": "2026-06-24 17:07:37+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-24 17:13:14.742825+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Snowflake", "Zhipu AI", "GLM-5.2", "Claude Opus 4.7", "Anthropic", "OpenAI", "Sridhar Ramaswamy"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/snowflake-ceo-finds-glm-5-2-competitive-with-opus-4-7-at-a-fraction-of-the-cost", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/snowflake-ceo-finds-glm-5-2-competitive-with-opus-4-7-at-a-fraction-of-the-cost.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/snowflake-ceo-finds-glm-5-2-competitive-with-opus-4-7-at-a-fraction-of-the-cost.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/snowflake-ceo-finds-glm-5-2-competitive-with-opus-4-7-at-a-fraction-of-the-cost.jsonld"}}
